Lessons of September 11th

September 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Every year on this day we try and remember what had happened to the world on this day – years ago, and what it actually signifies. For many this day has served as a wake up call to see what religious zealots can do, and as a constant reminder of the fight for domination in the world of religions.

We learned that suicide attackers can be educated, from “good” families, with college degrees and from financially well based backgrounds, we learned that suicide bombers did not necessarily live in an oppressive environment and that they could come from a wide range of nationalities, and most important of all – we learned that in order for them to do what they did they needed to be believers – perfect followers.

This can be applied to all organized religions and not only Islam. The religion that will forever need to explain why on that bloody day President Bush called it “the religion of peace” when it is clearly not even a remote candidate for this title (and will never be), its competition had lost the chance to be named so a long time ago.

We learned that once you believe that god is real and that real men carry his word, everything else simply aligns and you can very easily do the most horrific things in the name of god, or love, or peace.

And most of all we learned that the target of religious terrorists is to strike fear and hit the symbols of the western society, not fight an “honest” face to face war with it.

The one last thing that we learned (not much help from the traditional media sources) is that the attack was planned on a day commemorating the battle of Vienna 1683, sending a message that this was a new battle – in a very old war, that this was a war that started long before the United States was formed, before there was even a faint idea of the Jewish revival movement, before anyone called himself a Palestinian, and that this attacks had nothing to do with 20th century news and history and everything to do with a religious fanatical war.

Dalai Lama Asks Us Not to Hold Dogma Accountable

September 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Apparently there are many different meetings and conferences these days, just hours before the world remembers the September 11th, 2001 attack, that are trying to get as many different religious leaders in them to tell the world what is the hard learned lesson that we all learned on that terrible day – do not hold anyone accountable for what happened, it is not religion that did it, its just people.

OH REALLY? So, if it does say so, explicitly in the Koran that you should kill infidels and unbelievers, and if you are a person who truly (somehow) believes that god has written every word of that book (as read to his illiterate messenger in the desert) would you not think that god has clearly told you that killing infidels is exactly what he needs and wants?

Would you not say that the very spontaneous and joyous celebrations that spread out all around the Muslim world as word of the attacks reflect how clear this is to anyone believing Muslim?, and if it is so wrong, how can it be that since that dark day nearly 10 years ago so many similar attacks happened all over the world?

The Dalai Lama is in one of those things that are probably created by Muslims to try and stick as many other religions with them as they say it not religion. This one is in Canada, and the title of the news story I saw is that the Dalai Lama is asking for everyone to stop correlating religion with the crazy acts of individuals, well that could have been easier if the whole religion is based on turning everyone around you to a believer or a corps.

I say paint all religions, including the one of the Dalai Lama (who is a nice man and all, but still follows a dogma just like any other religion) in its true colors, from plain evil to mad, sadistic and arrogant, religions are exactly what their devote followers do and should be held accountable for each and every action, especially Islam which is trying to use everyone around to decrease its level of guiltiness in the slaughter of thousands of innocent people all around the world in these last 10 years.

It will not matter how many Buddhists, Jewish scholars and Christian pastors Muslim will gather up to say that all of them are not guilty, of course they are not guilty, Islam alone is guilty, and it cant help it – as far as they are concerned it is the express wish of god to have Muslims cut heads of infidels.

Dalai Lama - Buddhism did'nt do it, yeah we know that, Islam did.
